Chief Arcanter Isora Acaellius
Isora Syldana Acaellius
Isora Syldana Acaellius is the Chief Arcanter of the Arcane League Powder Guild, an erudite scholar, she lends her immense experience after long years of study to the guild's imbuement processes. While she is the Guildmaster, she has the least attachment to the guild's vocation, preferring other areas of study and supporting mage education within the city.
Isora was born in the kingdom of Demria during the reign of King Teagan. While marginally more accepting of mages than most kingdoms, Demria is also the seat of the Orlessian Churches and as such this double standard did not protect Isora from the prejudices of the common folk, not least because of her status as a Revivalist.
Eventually, the difficulties became too much and she left her circle and journeyed to Brimstone, where she used the funds her family gifted her to establish herself as a premier Arlathian mage in the city. Eventually she joined the Arcane League Powder Guild, and though she prefers research and study over the powder production, her skill in enchantment soon brought her renown within the guild. Proposed as a candidate by a friend following the retirement of the last Arcanter, Isora found herself elected to the position due to the infighting of the other candidates while she had resolutely refused to join the political fray. Disgusted by the display, the guild members had instead elected her, if only at first as punishment for the conduct of the other would-be arcanters.
Despite her disinterest in the position, Isora found she had some leadership talents buried deep. She leads the guild with a balanced approach, and does not seek to actively compete against the other guilds in useless rivalries and instead focuses the guild on supporting the city itself. She helped form the Kevleyan Publishers Union as well as spearheaded the effort to found the Ashford Academy. Many Arcane League guild members have begun to follow her lead as she enters her thirtieth year as Chief Arcanter and her reputation is sterling throughout the scholarly circles.
Her relationship with the Inspectorate seems warmer than most guilds, and she never seems to run into any issues, but then again, perhaps the two factions are smiling at each other with a dagger hidden behind their backs. Nonetheless, Isora seems to have no motive to shake things up within the city, and instead is intent on securing its future.
